I'm back.... (again)

[Desiree]

I can't tell you how many times I've fallen off the wagon only to come crawling back and then keep repeating the process. I'm just disgusted with myself mainly. I can't even bear to weigh in. I was in tears the other day looking for a black suit or dress to wear to my uncle's funeral. I know the weigh in part is going to be bad. I suspect I'm over 200. A number I swore I'd never let myself see. How do you all do it? How to get motivated and stay that way? I'm ready to start back but am scared of failing again.

I'm thinking of trying Oprah's Boot Camp but that is going to take alot of commitment. Should I start slow and then work my way up to following her regimins?

I need help!

Well it was a bit worse than I feared. 206. At least I have a starting point now so I can focus on everything else.

Desiree - First of all welcome home. Very sorry to hear about your Uncle. This time around I gave up dieting. No counting calories, carbs or anything else. I cleaned out our kitchen cabinets and refrigerator. No more bad food. I only buy good wholesome food. If my family doesn't like it they know where McDonald's is. I also joined a gym and hired a trainer. It only takes 3 weeks to make a habit or lose a habit. I am going for the likestyle change. If I lose weight then that is an added benifit. ( i have lost 8 lbs in the last 2 weeks) Just my 2 cents worth. Again welcome back.

Thanks Judy...
Yea, I weighed in and started back at the Y this morning. So hopefully I can start the lifestyle change trend in the family and get everyone on board with me.
